Our ideas for realising the ambition of the NDIS

As implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and its cost-effectiveness comes under increased scrutiny, we put forward our ideas in 2017 about how we could realise the NDIS ambition and control costs in the long run.

What: Read our 2017 recommendations for the NDIS in this report c0-authored with The Difference Incubator

Sector: Children & families, Disability

TACSI practices: Systems innovation

Collaborators: The Difference Incubator

TACSI team: Chris Vanstone, Kerry Jones

In 2017, TACSI and The Difference Incubator (TDi) worked with 18 service providers to identify what it would take to be viable under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and deliver on the ambition of the NDIS for people with a disability.

The report contains recommendations for funders of capability building as well as resources for providers.

The challenge for 2018 and beyond will be to build communities for change around these areas to ensure bold ideas that are created can, and are, implemented successfully.
